Overview

Mission

The organization's mission is to facilitate the collection and preservation of antique steam and gas engines.

What it reported doing in 2025

The organization succeeded in presenting a wide array of steam and gas engines to the general public during its major show that it currently holds every year. Attendance to the gas and steam engine show was nearly 9,000 people. The people that attended were able to observe historical culture of industrial/agricultural gas and steam engines.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 94% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
